Occams Razor

Hey... so I had an interesting question from a prospective player.

Because this is a game set in a Darker Version of the Real World... it is possible for Characters to belong to a Real World religion.

This lends to the possibility of people playing Real World religious leaders. I know in some gaming systems (NERO) this is not OK. But will it be OK in Whisper Hill?

Do people have thoughts on this topic?
Plot what are your thoughts?

Inquiring minds want to know.

NOTE: I tried to be respectful and careful with my words here. If the meaning didn't come across right, I would be happy to put it in more blunt "Fighter" language.

From earlier in another thread:

[quote]There are no deities or pantheons that need be exclusively avoided (save for silly things that will earn you quality time with the Trout of Shame). That said, we need you guys to approach religion with the respect it deserves--caricaturing a Real World faith will not end well for anybody involved.

If you decide that your character has received miraculous examples of divine intervention, be prepared to deal with the consequences of being an Instrument of the Divine. Or, you know, suffering from consistent hallucinations due to pernicious brain chemistry. One of the two.

Religion is somewhat less prevalent among the masses, those communities and people who do embrace their faith probably due so with more fervor and dedication than those in the real world. Basically, there are fewer people who go to <place of worship> on <high holiday> but maybe more who attend <weekly services> or those who do attend <weekly services> are more devout in the rest of their lives.[/quote]

Does that answer your question?
